Obama Makes Clear His Willingness to Abandon Israel

The UN Security Council Presidential Statement on the Gaza flotilla incident involving Israeli soldiers, describes the incident in a manner similar to the outline designed by its Arab and OIC sponsors. All the civilians who participated in the flotilla are cast as humanitarians – including the armed thugs caught on video-tape brutally attacking Israeli soldiers. The Presidential Statement was agreed upon unanimously– with American approval.

The Obama team is sailing into new waters, refusing to take a stand for Israel and caving to political pressure from Middle Eastern States. The resolution, which is supported by the Obama Administration, makes no mention of Iran’s dedication to Israel’s annihilation, no mention of the smuggling of arms into Gaza, and no mention of the use of those weapons against Israel and its people. The Security Council is effectively suggesting that there is no justification for Israel’s interest in the ship’s cargo or its legal blockade of an enemy, Hamas, with which it is at war.
